Getting back to the subject at hand, Cylent Cycles is all about the bagger. Not baggers and bobbers or baggers and choppers, Cylent could be called Just Baggers and that wouldn’t be pushing it a tiny bit. Their website is filled with their own parts and pieces that just might make your bagger stand out in an ever-growing sea of custom baggers. Yeah it’s got the mandatory big...

  What’s interesting about this tagged and bagged Camtech custom is that owner Shane Phillips works at Camtech. That’s a good case of practice what you preach when one of the company family goes this deep on a build. What was formerly a 2011 Harley-Davidson Road Glide is now a whipped and dipped former shadow of itself except in the eyes of the South Carolina DMV. There’s some...

     No one will ever say that Coby Klein is afraid; at least when it comes time to knock out a whack bagger that’s a showcase for SBD’s own parts and handiwork. Normally, most people use a Harley frame just for its neck and VIN number and the rest be damned, but not Coby. He cut off the frame at the base of the downtubes and right above the engine’s Vee on the top tube, tossed...

Flash forward to today and dressers have become baggers and (in my best Carl Sagan voice) millions and millions of lights have been replaced by millions of dollars of parts and pieces. Well, maybe not millions, but checking out the bedazzled bagger built by Gary Hummel of HH Bagger Design in Corona, California, it looks like what might as well be a million dollars compared to...

Our feature bike built by the talented lads at The Bike Exchange in Gastonia, North Carolina, is a perfect example of a spare-no-dollars-until-it’s-over-the-top custom bagger. I say over-the-top for the simple reason that anytime you put a 30-inch Renegade Racine hoop covered in Vee Rubber up front, you’ve got to go OTT to just begin to match the audaciousness of a front wheel...

  Next, we wanted a generalized “bling” package. Covingtons Cycle City in Woodward, Oklahoma, doesn’t just build customized bikes to order, they also offer an extensive line of custom parts for standard Harley-Davidsons. The one we liked most was the finned billet collection, in chrome. We ordered eleven matching pieces from them. The larger items were the dash panel, derby cover,...

    But, there are some people who can see the good right through the bad and Dustin Maybin of Eastern Rod & Chopper in Hendersonville, North Carolina, is definitely one of them. This relatively young guy took a homely (I’m being kind here) Volare Road Runner and reworked it until it became  something I never thought I’d ever say about one of these, but here it goes, he made...

  That would be the same reaction you’d have after encountering the seemingly stock 2009 Screamin’ Eagle Road Glide belonging to Wayne Stamey. Yeah, a CVO has a 110” engine, but there’s also a lot of weight to move around so pulling out to pass him (unwritten motorcycle law ― if there’s a motorcycle ahead of you it must be passed) shouldn’t be a problem. Just as you close in for...

  Personally I think Kurt’s a smart guy as he chose to make a rideable-appearing custom bike to showcase the H-D parts he’s now offering through his Sumo-X company. Funny how a 23” front wheel that looked so huge only a short while ago now seems a bit conservative and an everyday rider possibility. Coming from a totally dedicated (and probably antiquated) 16” dresser wheel guy like...

Blue Custom started out as a 2007 Street Glide and got a serious Covingtons’ performance upgrade with a 103″ Twin Cam stuffed full of Screamin’ Eagle parts. A Terry Components EFI Controller handles the intake side of things while Covingtons Signature Series True Dual Hot Rod pipes takes care of the exit strategy for spent gases. “We originally came out with the Hot Rod...
